Stockholm 1757. 18x11. 48 s. 3 graverade vinjetter. Senare blågrå pappersomslag. Anders Johan von Höpken hade inlett en utbredd och långvarig debatt med sitt tal i Vetenskapsakademien "Om yppighets nytta", där han ville berättiga lyxens berättigande som en ekonomiskt gynnsam manifestation av människans essentiellt själviska natur, snarare än en omoralisk odygd. En av debattens mest ohämmade pläderingar för lyxen var arkitekten Adelcrantz' tal om konstens nytta. Begäret efter lyx skapade enligt Adelcrantz idoghet och sysselsättning - åtminstone för alla de konstnärer som fått i uppgift att smycka kungars och ädlingars palats - men även böndernas vilja att konsumera lyx skulle driva dem till att arbeta hårdare så att de bleve välbärgade och därmed betalade mer i skatt.
